I got told by these ridiculous people from JDownloader, that actually the adware downloaded is different for each user! Depending on its system, region, etc!
So has anyone figured out what the virus is and how to get rid of it?
It still messes up my Firefox Google results with fake results.-kalos (April 28, 2018, 11:14 AM)
Oracle Java SE 8 Release Updates
Public updates for Oracle Java SE 8 will remain available for individual, personal use through at least the end of 2020.
Public updates for Oracle Java SE 8 released after January 2019 will not be available for business, commercial or production use without a commercial license.
If you are a CONSUMER using Java for individual, personal use, you will continue to have the same access to Oracle Java SE 8 updates as you do today through at least the end of 2020. In most instances, the Java-based applications you run are licensed separately by a company other than Oracle (for example, games you play on your PC are likely developed by a gaming company). These applications may run on the Java platform and be dependent on Oracle Java SE 8 updates beyond 2020. Accordingly, Oracle recommends you contact your application provider for details on how they plan to continue to provide application support to you.
If you are a DEVELOPER, Oracle recommends you review the roadmap information for Java SE 8 and beyond and take appropriate action depending on the type of application you develop and your distribution model.

He can make as many requests as he wants to. We don't have to answer him. And we certainly don't have to make fun of his responses.First, I agree with Wraith above. (And I have been guilty of same in the past.)-wraith808 (April 22, 2018, 12:32 PM)
Sometimes, I give up and forget and no longer pursue my requirements because I cannot find something satisfying, I don't see what problem this causes to you.It is about a lot more than this -- that was just one point in about six or seven in my last post. I'm not saying all this to give you a hard time Kalos. I would like though if you could see the POV of the people who try and help you. I still think this is a good learning opportunity for you, and maybe for 'us' too.-kalos (April 22, 2018, 12:18 PM)

1) OP has asked for recommendations for software to perform a certain function.
2) Recommendations were given but OP gives no indication that any of them have actually been tried apart from being downloaded and having the AV complain about them.
3) [Insert number here] months later OP repeats same request and provides no explanation of why any previous suggestion was unsuitable because he has not tried them.
4) Repeat from step 2.-4wd (April 20, 2018, 04:26 PM)
hi Kalos
I have said elsewhere:you *consistently* start threads without giving enough information -- this then has to be dragged out of you one question at a time. I need a lot of help on computer myself: I'm the opposite of an expert. One of the things I learned very quickly (I was told) is this: be as helpful as possible when asking for help. Give as much info as you possibly can, do research beforehand, and let them know what you found/didnt find. If a problem, try and fix it yourself: report on that. If you are helpful in these ways, you make the job of the person helping you much easier, and much more rewarding.
I'm no saint, I forget all that regularly, but I'm aware of it, and make up for it where and when I can.
now imagine you want to help some person who has made a post about uninstalling games:
what other info would you need / want in order to be able to help that person?
Requires a little thought maybe, and writing things clearly so we understand without too much effort or interrogation.-tomos (May 04, 2017, 02:52 AM)

One of my favorite things about this site is people working together and supporting each other's projects... This is a really nice example of that.both work for me :-)
And no words can describe the difference that the mascot Cody that Nick created, has made on the spirit of this site.-mouser (April 20, 2018, 12:07 PM)
I gave Downthemall a try, but is there a way to make the downloads delay every x seconds so that I won't abuse the server???You can configure concurrent downloads and downloads-per-server in DownThemAll - that really should be all you need to to avoid "abusing" anything-kalos (December 02, 2016, 05:48 PM)-f0dder (December 27, 2016, 10:16 AM)
I wish "JazW" was here, he is the one who wrote this amazing tool!Did You try sending a PM?-Ponsonnet (April 15, 2018, 06:08 PM)
It had a proper wax seal on the back of the envelope, a rouble taped to it, and a hand made silver scratch-off message!
It was very fun opening it.-mouser (April 11, 2018, 07:06 AM)
@Tomos: Sorry, but I thought Google's blocking this [API] was already quite clear from the Picasa blog:clear from their blog as of March 26th 2018 (it may have been clear earlier, but I dont think so) -- either way, I, and lots of other people using Picasa this way didnt know about it.-IainB (April 06, 2018, 03:05 PM)
There's nothing to stop you from using Picasa as an image management tool/database, and shipping up the photos to Google Photos, as required. (I had thought that was what you were intending doing.)the nice thing about Picasa is you can create as many albums as you like:-IainB (April 06, 2018, 03:05 PM)
